Trump Signs Executive Order Protecting Women’s Sports From Male Infiltration

President Donald Trump signed a new executive order Wednesday protecting women’s and girls sports from biological male athletes who identify as transgender.

“The war on women’s sports is over,” Trump said.

“We will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls,” he continued. “From now on, women’s sports will be only for women.”

Trump signed the order on the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day.

Throughout his campaign, Trump pledged to “ban” transgender-identifying biological males from competing in women’s sports.

“I’ve never met a person that came up to me, and they say, ‘We want men to play in women’s sports,’” Trump said at a rally on Oct. 22. “Somehow, they’re pushing it. I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve been talking about this for a while, because I’m ending it. On Day One, I’m ending it.”

The House of Representatives passed the Protection of Women and Girls Act in January. The Senate has yet to vote on the bill, sponsored by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., a former college football coach.

Nearly three-quarters (72%) of registered voters think biological males should not be allowed to participate in women’s and girls sports, according to national polling from RMG Research shared with The Daily Signal.

Female athletes worldwide have lost about 900 medals to so-called transgender rivals competing against them in women’s sporting categories, according to a new United Nations report.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., introduced legislation to protect women’s sports from male athletes. Tuberville said the Senate needs to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, as executive orders can be reversed.

“On Nov. 5, 2024, the American people just didn’t elect President Trump, they also decisively rejected this ridiculous notion that men can get pregnant and boys should compete in women’s sports,” Tuberville said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
